Portrait of Andrew Dasburg

Emlen Etting (American, 1905–1993) Portrait of Andrew Dasburg (American 1887–1979)

Born in Philadelphia in 1905, Emlen Etting went on to receive a degree in French literature from Harvard University. After graduation Etting moved to Paris, where he studied painting with André Lhote and socialized with the likes of F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, and Jean-Paul Sartre. He later returned to Philadelphia, where he taught at Temple University's Tyler School of Art and the Philadelphia College of Art, and served as president of the Alliance Française. Known for painting in a representational but somewhat stylized manner, Etting made this portrait in Taos, New Mexico, where Andrew Dasburg, an artist himself, had lived since 1930.
